Switching phone operating systems is a huge deal. Odds are you’re already vested in an existing ecosystem. When I switched to webOS, I had to give up all the apps I’d purchased for Windows Mobile and PalmOS. Now that I’m switching again, I have that same sting. It’s one of the things that keeps people […]
This is a follow-up of sorts to my previous article, “Tasting Gingerbread: A WebOS User Dabbles In The Android Waters”. I’m still using a Palm Pre+ hacked to run on Sprint, but I know this can’t last forever. With webOS’s uncertain future almost certainly not including phones, I’ve continued to look elsewhere.

The good news is, this one has actually been announced to come out […]
Remember when Windows Phone 7 was first announced and AT&T was one of the first carriers on board? We all know their iPhone exclusivity was going to end soon, but I found it almost comical how much AT&T wanted to advertise Microsoft’s rival OS so soon. Not that I blame them, Windows Phone is so surprisingly well […]
Tablet watching is turning into a really fun hobby, because there’s just so much going on. As vendors gear up for the holiday shopping season, we’re seeing this particular market segment heat up even more. Take the constantly-delayed Asus Slider, which will allegedly be here by the end of the month. The unique form factor […]
Zombie cookies aren’t dead yet! Over a year ago, lawsuits were filed against Disney, Warner Brothers, MySpace, ABC, and NBC Universal for using persistent tracking cookies able to defeat most attempts to disable, block, or purge them.
